Pampore terror attack News

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday mourned the death of soldier Shashikant Pandey who was killed in a terror attack at Pampore in Jammu and Kashmir.

At the meeting with officials of Police, Army, and Paramilitary forces, emphasized the need for greater coordination and cooperation among the various forces and agencies.

The mortal remains of the slain soldiers will be flown for last rites to their native places where they will be laid to rest with full military honours.

The security forces couldn't retaliate with full force as there were civilians in the area. A massive search operation is underway to nab the attackers.

Pathankot, Pampore, Uri and Nagrota attacks raised more public outcry than any other place due to the sheer audacity of the terrorists and galvanised Indians to rally behind the security forces.
